China Busts Child Trafficking Ring, Recovers 15 Infants: Report
Police in China have broken a child trafficking ring that they say had been selling children from the remote southwest to buyers near the coast 2,000 km (1,245 miles) away for as little as about $3,000, the state news agency Xinhua has reported. Police caught 78 suspects and rescued 15 infants, the report late on Wednesday said. Xinhua said police spotted a suspicious couple in September that traveled frequently between the mountainous town of Liangshan in Sichuan province and the city of Linyi in Shandong province near the coast.
